    We are both very short, 5"2' and 5"6'.  We did try a comfort height one as the regular ones we looked at were very slightly lower than our old toilet, but found the comfort height just too high.
    We are doing OK at the moment with the ones we chose, but the knees are not getting any younger!  (75 and 81)

    You say you have a new home - is this still under warranty ? 
    I have new home and there was a two year warranty on my Roca Debba and I was able to get a new seat under this. 
    You don’t need to buy direct from Roca. Google for best price.

    We recently had a comfort height rimless toilet fitted in our new bathroom - a RAK Resort Maxi:

    RAK Resort Maxi Rimless Close Coupled Full Access Toilet + Quick Release Soft Close Urea Seat (victorianplumbing.co.uk)

    We went for the open back full access version, but they also do a back to wall version.

    We chose the open back because I prefer to be able to see if anything is leaking, having previously had a toilet leak from underneath the cistern.

    We are delighted with it (as much as you can be with a toilet!). The flush is very powerful, it's easy to clean, comfortable, feels really sturdy and looks modern without being a weird shape. 

    We have two of these installed last year which we are very happy with. We too went for open back for the same reasons. We ended up with a leak from the only close back toilet we kept in the house when it was reinstalled.
